HARLEY-DAVIDSON 100th ANNIVERSARY --
MILWAUKEE, WI
"The John Gaar band will not be a stranger to Milwaukee after
his debut performance at the Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary
Birthday Party. Their performance was wonderful and a real crowd
pleaser. By far one of the best bands out there right
now. Don't wait to book them. From a stage managing standpoint
the John Gaar Band is one of the best to work with. From start
to finish, professional all the way."

DELTASNAKE ONLINE REVIEW
"Gaar's original compositions are creative and well-crafted.
And, in his live performances he even breathes new fire into his
unique arrangements of pop classics such as "Ain't No Sunshine",
plunking acidic blues riffs into the song which will make your
skin sizzle 'til it's char-broiled. In Gaar's wicked interpretation
of ZZ Top's "Fool For Your Stockings", his guitar runs
will sear the ladies' hoisery right off. And Gaar's soul-drenched
vocals compliment his musical and lyrical prowess.”

SOUTHWEST AIRLINES GASPARILLA PIRATE
FESTIVAL --
TAMPA, FL
"I just wanted to say thank you for the incredible performance
at the 2004 Southwest Airlines Gasparilla Pirate Fest (Tampa,
FL). This annual festival attracts an enormous and diverse crowd,
so it definitely takes a versatile band to entertain. The John
Gaar Band provided just that. Not only did you entertain the masses
of people in the area, but you attracted crowds to come over to
the stage and enjoy the day as opposed to everything else taking
place. Thanks again for the professionalism and an outstanding
performance that helped us exceed the expectations of the more
than 400,000 people in attendance this year. Any time I am looking
for a great blues rock and roll band, you will be the first I
call!"

WOOD STREET BLUES FESTIVAL --
MARLIN, TX
"The John Gaar Band
rocked! The heat was paralyzing at the Third Annual Wood Street
Blues Festival and the crowd seemed glued to their seats by their
own sweat. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any hotter, the
John Gaar Band took the stage and filled the sultry air with
soulful rockin’ blues. Toes started tapping and hips started
swaying as the crowd experienced blues the way they were meant to
sound. As an added bonus, it was truly a pleasure to work with
the John Gaar Band."
